VY1PLA_SEDR_FMT.txt Version: 12/30/98 MIT ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The files give the coordinates of the Voyager Space Craft in a column format: year day hour min sec mil-sec x y z xx yy zz r lat long time x, y, z are Sun-centered ecliptic coordinates, AU (B1950.0) xx, yy, zz are Solar Equatorial Coordinate, AU (Heliographic system) r, lat, log are the Solar Equatorial Coordinate in AU and degrees time is time in years since 1900 The filename format is as follows: sc_type_start_end_dis.suff where any of these may be missing. sc is Space Craft v1 or v2 type is type of data, usually the same as the directory name, (e.g. sedr ha ) start start time year.day.hour ( day and hour may be missing) end end time year.day.hour ( day and hour may be missing) dis descriptor, if any addition processing is needed, (e.g. filt implies the data has been filtered, see README in that directory.) suff suffix, Z, gz implies the type of compression etc. The formats may describe more fields that the data sets contain. In that case, the fields in the description should just be ignored. In some cases, 00000 is used as a fill, and implies the that data is unavailable. Common sense is required to distinguish missing data from true zeros.
